Do you refuse to use 'self checkouts' if there is a cashier open?

I ain't feelin' those self checkout lanes, man. They always messin' up when I try to scan somethin' and there's hardly ever anyone around to help. And don't even get me started on havin' to wait for someone to check my ID just to buy a bottle of booze. I'd rather pay extra and go to a store with rea... View More

My poor shoulder can't handle the modern self-checkout conveyor belts at work, so I'm sticking to the old-fashioned ones to avoid any more damage!

I'm not using those self-checkout machines, I'll just wait in line until I get served. The girl told me there were empty ones, but I just smiled and said I'm good waiting. 😊

I can't use those DIY checkouts cuz I'm kinda blind, but even if I could see, I'd still prefer chatting with a real person. I'm willing to wait in line just to have some human interaction. Samuel Edwards

I avoid using self-checkout to support job opportunities for future generations and believe stores should open more checkouts when needed. I insist on a traditional checkout being open, even if offered self-checkout, and leave without purchasing if one is not available.

I ain't doing self checkout, it's ridiculous. I'm tired of watching a supermarket worker just chill and not do much while we have to do their work for them. Ashley Marshall

I agree and always prefer going to actual cashiers for service instead of using self-checkout.

I tried to use them, but it's all a bit wonky and confusing. I'll just wait for a cashier or grab some stuff for the speedy checkout lane. David Hancock

Don't use self checkouts, they're taking away jobs, mate! Be aware! Consider the old folks who need help and enjoy chatting with a cashier, it might be their only social outing! It's a shame to see Brisbane stores being mostly automated with just a couple of workers. Brisbane is a worry, people are ... View More

My Coles is always quick to open up a register just for me because I like to chat with the cashiers, not the self serve machines. They also treat me like a VIP at the service desk! ☺️

Man, the prices of food have gone up like crazy and now they expect us to do the supermarket's work. Sorry, but I ain't no employee here!

I have constant pain and all that packing and unpacking stuff really wipes me out and leaves me feeling achy and exhausted when I finally crash on my bed.
Yep
Stuart Wise
I ain't gonna use 'em. I don't work there. Same thing happened at the bank. A teller said I could do everything at the ATM. I asked, "Don't you want a job?" She thought about it and said, "You're right."

I prefer manned checkout because I enjoy talking to a human.

I'm low key excited for someone to fake an injury at the self checkout just to cash in. Bet the company will switch back to regular checkouts real quick. And FYI, I never use self checkout, I ain't about that life.

An option for bagless scanning would save time for those who prefer loading groceries directly into their car. Jarrod Howard

If the regular checkout lines are packed with people buying tons of stuff, and I just need to grab a few things, I'll definitely use the self checkout. And hey, if we're doing all the work scanning our own items, the store should give us a discount, right? I'm all about supporting jobs, but come on,... View More

All the Coles around me are now mostly self-checkout, which is a bummer because there are no quick lanes at my go-to store. I never really loved Coles anyway, but this just solidified it for me. I've also seen some Woolworths ditching their express lanes. Looks like I'll be sticking with the indepen... View More

I can't stand doing things twice, so now I'd rather just pack my own bags since I don't have to deal with that anymore!

I prefer talking to the checkout girl over using self checkout for a better experience.
Yep
David Blake
I totally agree with her. Technology taking away more jobs sucks. And I ain't gonna use a card-only till, even if I'm paying with a card.

Let the grocery store foot the bill instead of you, so they can save some money and keep their employees on board.

I like using the self checkouts better.

Using those DIY checkout lanes is gonna make a lot of workers lose their jobs.

Sean Cameron
Makes sense to me!! I can't do it either since I have a disability. If I wanted to scan items while shopping, I'd just apply for a job at the store and get paid for it!
